Durable, heavy-duty earbuds

I'm looking for a pair of earbuds that will last longer than a month or two.

I use mine a lot, sometimes 14+ hours a day. And I use them while working outdoors, so the cord sometimes snags on things. I'm generally listening to podcasts or audiobooks, not music, so I don't really care about top sound quality.

Anyone know of a model with a reinforced cord and a heavy-duty plug? Long ago I had a pair where the wire ran inside a woven nylon cord, which seemed to work well.

A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.
